# WiFi Module | Since | Origin / Contributor | Maintainer | Source | | :----- | :-------------------- | :---------- | :------ | | 2015-05-12 | [Zeroday](https://github.com/funshine) | [dnc40085](https://github.com/dnc40085) | [wifi.c](../../../app/modules/wifi.c)| !!! important The WiFi subsystem is maintained by background tasks that must run periodically. Any function or task that takes longer than 15ms (milliseconds) may cause the WiFi subsystem to crash. To avoid these potential crashes, it is advised that the WiFi subsystem be suspended with [wifi.suspend()](#wifisuspend) prior to the execution of any tasks or functions that exceed this 15ms guideline. The NodeMCU WiFi control is spread across several tables: - `wifi` for overall WiFi configuration - [`wifi.sta`](#wifista-module) for station mode functions - [`wifi.ap`](#wifiap-module) for wireless access point (WAP or simply AP) functions - [`wifi.ap.dhcp`](#wifiapdhcp-module) for DHCP server control - [`wifi.eventmon`](#wifieventmon-module) for wifi event monitor ## wifi.getchannel() Gets the current WiFi channel. #### Syntax `wifi.getchannel()` #### Parameters `nil` #### Returns current WiFi channel ## wifi.getdefaultmode() Gets default WiFi operation mode. #### Syntax `wifi.getdefaultmode()` #### Parameters `nil` #### Returns The WiFi mode, as one of the `wifi.STATION`, `wifi.SOFTAP`, `wifi.STATIONAP` or `wifi.NULLMODE` constants. #### See also [`wifi.getmode()`](#wifigetmode) [`wifi.setmode()`](#wifisetmode) ## wifi.getmode() Gets WiFi operation mode. #### Syntax `wifi.getmode()` #### Parameters `nil` #### Returns The WiFi mode, as one of the `wifi.STATION`, `wifi.SOFTAP`, `wifi.STATIONAP` or `wifi.NULLMODE` constants. #### See also [`wifi.getdefaultmode()`](#wifigetdefaultmode) [`wifi.setmode()`](#wifisetmode) ## wifi.getphymode() Gets WiFi physical mode. #### Syntax `wifi.getphymode()` #### Parameters none #### Returns The current physical mode as one of `wifi.PHYMODE_B`, `wifi.PHYMODE_G` or `wifi.PHYMODE_N`. #### See also [`wifi.setphymode()`](#wifisetphymode) ## wifi.nullmodesleep() Configures whether or not WiFi automatically goes to sleep in NULL_MODE. Enabled by default. !!! note This function **does not** store it's setting in flash, if auto sleep in NULL_MODE is not desired, `wifi.nullmodesleep(false)` must be called after power-up, restart, or wake from deep sleep. #### Syntax `wifi.nullmodesleep([enable])` #### Parameters - `enable` - `true` Enable WiFi auto sleep in NULL_MODE. (Default setting) - `false` Disable WiFi auto sleep in NULL_MODE. #### Returns - `sleep_enabled` Current/New NULL_MODE sleep setting - If `wifi.nullmodesleep()` is called with no arguments, current setting is returned. - If `wifi.nullmodesleep()` is called with `enable` argument, confirmation of new setting is returned. ## wifi.resume() Wake up WiFi from suspended state or cancel pending wifi suspension. !!! note Wifi resume occurs asynchronously, this means that the resume request will only be processed when control of the processor is passed back to the SDK (after MyResumeFunction() has completed). The resume callback also executes asynchronously and will only execute after wifi has resumed normal operation. #### Syntax `wifi.resume([resume_cb])` #### Parameters - `resume_cb` Callback to execute when WiFi wakes from suspension. !!! note "Note:" Any previously provided callbacks will be replaced! #### Returns `nil` #### Example ```lua --Resume wifi from timed or indefinite sleep wifi.resume() --Resume wifi from timed or indefinite sleep w/ resume callback wifi.resume(function() print("WiFi resume") end) ``` #### See also - [`wifi.suspend()`](#wifisuspend) - [`node.sleep()`](node.md#nodesleep) - [`node.dsleep()`](node.md#nodedsleep) ## wifi.setmode() Configures the WiFi mode to use. NodeMCU can run in one of four WiFi modes: - Station mode, where the NodeMCU device joins an existing network - Access point (AP) mode, where it creates its own network that others can join - Station + AP mode, where it both creates its own network while at the same time being joined to another existing network - WiFi off When using the combined Station + AP mode, the same channel will be used for both networks as the radio can only listen on a single channel. !!! note WiFi configuration will be retained until changed even if device is turned off. #### Syntax `wifi.setmode(mode[, save])` #### Parameters - `mode` value should be one of - `wifi.STATION` for when the device is connected to a WiFi router. This is often done to give the device access to the Internet. - `wifi.SOFTAP` for when the device is acting *only* as an access point. This will allow you to see the device in the list of WiFi networks (unless you hide the SSID, of course). In this mode your computer can connect to the device, creating a local area network. Unless you change the value, the NodeMCU device will be given a local IP address of 192.168.4.1 and assign your computer the next available IP address, such as 192.168.4.2. - `wifi.STATIONAP` is the combination of `wifi.STATION` and `wifi.SOFTAP`. It allows you to create a local WiFi connection *and* connect to another WiFi router. - `wifi.NULLMODE` changing WiFi mode to NULL_MODE will put wifi into a low power state similar to MODEM_SLEEP, provided `wifi.nullmodesleep(false)` has not been called. - `save` choose whether or not to save wifi mode to flash - `true` WiFi mode configuration **will** be retained through power cycle. (Default) - `false` WiFi mode configuration **will not** be retained through power cycle. #### Returns current mode after setup #### Example ```lua wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION) ``` #### See also [`wifi.getmode()`](#wifigetmode) [`wifi.getdefaultmode()`](#wifigetdefaultmode) ## wifi.setphymode() Sets WiFi physical mode. - `wifi.PHYMODE_B` 802.11b, more range, low Transfer rate, more current draw - `wifi.PHYMODE_G` 802.11g, medium range, medium transfer rate, medium current draw - `wifi.PHYMODE_N` 802.11n, least range, fast transfer rate, least current draw (STATION ONLY) Information from the Espressif datasheet v4.3 | Parameters |Typical Power Usage| |---------------------------------------------|-------------------| |Tx 802.11b, CCK 11Mbps, P OUT=+17dBm | 170 mA | |Tx 802.11g, OFDM 54Mbps, P OUT =+15dBm | 140 mA | |Tx 802.11n, MCS7 65Mbps, P OUT =+13dBm | 120 mA | |Rx 802.11b, 1024 bytes packet length, -80dBm | 50 mA | |Rx 802.11g, 1024 bytes packet length, -70dBm | 56 mA | |Rx 802.11n, 1024 bytes packet length, -65dBm | 56 mA | #### Syntax `wifi.setphymode(mode)` #### Parameters `mode` one of the following - `wifi.PHYMODE_B` - `wifi.PHYMODE_G` - `wifi.PHYMODE_N` #### Returns physical mode after setup #### See also [`wifi.getphymode()`](#wifigetphymode) ## wifi.startsmart() Starts to auto configuration, if success set up SSID and password automatically. Intended for use with SmartConfig apps, such as Espressif's [Android & iOS app](https://github.com/espressifapp). Only usable in `wifi.STATION` mode. !!! important SmartConfig is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting `WIFI_SMART_ENABLE` in [`user_config.h`](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/blob/dev/app/include/user_config.h#L96) before you build the firmware. #### Syntax `wifi.startsmart(type, callback)` #### Parameters - `type` 0 for ESP\_TOUCH, or 1 for AIR\_KISS. - `callback` a callback function of the form `function(ssid, password) end` which gets called after configuration. #### Returns `nil` #### Example ```lua wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION) wifi.startsmart(0, function(ssid, password) print(string.format("Success. SSID:%s ; PASSWORD:%s", ssid, password)) end ) ``` #### See also [`wifi.stopsmart()`](#wifistopsmart) ## wifi.stopsmart() Stops the smart configuring process. #### Syntax `wifi.stopsmart()` #### Parameters none #### Returns `nil` #### See also [`wifi.startsmart()`](#wifistartsmart) ## wifi.suspend() Suspend Wifi to reduce current consumption. !!! note Wifi suspension occurs asynchronously, this means that the suspend request will only be processed when control of the processor is passed back to the SDK (after MySuspendFunction() has completed). The suspend callback also executes asynchronously and will only execute after wifi has been successfully been suspended. #### Syntax `wifi.suspend({duration[, suspend_cb, resume_cb, preserve_mode]})` #### Parameters - `duration` Suspend duration in microseconds(μs). If a suspend duration of `0` is specified, suspension will be indefinite (Range: 0 or 50000 - 268435454 μs (0:4:28.000454)) - `suspend_cb` Callback to execute when WiFi is suspended. (Optional) - `resume_cb` Callback to execute when WiFi wakes from suspension. (Optional) - `preserve_mode` preserve current WiFi mode through node sleep. (Optional, Default: true) - If true, Station and StationAP modes will automatically reconnect to previously configured Access Point when NodeMCU resumes. - If false, discard WiFi mode and leave NodeMCU in [`wifi.NULL_MODE`](#wifigetmode). WiFi mode will be restored to original mode on restart. #### Returns - `suspend_state` if no parameters are provided, current WiFi suspension state will be returned - States: - `0` WiFi is awake. - `1` WiFi suspension is pending. (Waiting for idle task) - `2` WiFi is suspended. #### Example ```lua --get current wifi suspension state print(wifi.suspend()) --Suspend WiFi for 10 seconds with suspend/resume callbacks cfg={} cfg.duration=10*1000*1000 cfg.resume_cb=function() print("WiFi resume") end cfg.suspend_cb=function() print("WiFi suspended") end wifi.suspend(cfg) --Suspend WiFi for 10 seconds with suspend/resume callbacks and discard WiFi mode cfg={} cfg.duration=10*1000*1000 cfg.resume_cb=function() print("WiFi resume") end cfg.suspend_cb=function() print("WiFfi suspended") end cfg.preserve_mode=false wifi.suspend(cfg) ``` #### See also - [`wifi.resume()`](#wifiresume) - [`node.sleep()`](node.md#nodesleep) - [`node.dsleep()`](node.md#nodedsleep) # wifi.sta Module ## wifi.sta.autoconnect() Auto connects to AP in station mode. #### Syntax `wifi.sta.autoconnect(auto)` #### Parameters `auto` 0 to disable auto connecting, 1 to enable auto connecting #### Returns `nil` #### Example ```lua wifi.sta.autoconnect(1) ``` #### See also - [`wifi.sta.config()`](#wifistaconfig) - [`wifi.sta.connect()`](#wifistaconnect) - [`wifi.sta.disconnect()`](#wifistadisconnect) ## wifi.sta.changeap() Select Access Point from list returned by `wifi.sta.getapinfo()` #### Syntax `wifi.sta.changeap(ap_index)` #### Parameters `ap_index` Index of Access Point you would like to change to.
